The board met last week in Denver and voted unanimously on Friday for the investment support.

Kyle Henley, CSU Denver director of public relations, said Sunday that CSU-Pueblo will continue to proceed with plans to reduce expenses by $3.3 million for the 2014-15 fiscal year.

“CSU-Pueblo has a vital mission and this investment by the CSU System provides a financial bridge so that the campus can focus on building a brighter future for current and future students,” said Dorothy Horrell, chair of the CSU System Board of Governors, in a statement.
